Transmission doesnt work over vpn

Post by redss53 »

Transmission 2.83 on Ubuntu Linux 14.04, works fine for me without a VPN. But once I connect to openVPN, downloads don't work at all, they get stuck at "downloading from 0 of 0 peers" and "magnetized transfer - receiving metadata (0%)"

Are there any Transmission or VPN settings that can be tweaked to make it work?

I implemented a killswitch using ufw, which works great, but I see the following in my transmission logs (errors do not with vpn off without killswitch)
Scrape error: Connection failed
Could not connect to tracker (announcer.c:999)
Anybody?
